This is a "proper" campaign planned by US AFRICA COMMAND - not just looking for targets of opportunity.
The Aviationist reports:
Operation ODYSSEY RESOLVE - ISR Phase.
Operation JUNCTION SERPENT - Targeting Information
Operation ODYSSEY LIGHTNING - Attack Phase
AH-1Ws from USS Wasp are reported to have taken out some armored vehicles including 2 x T-72 MBTs with Hellfire.
MQ-9 Reapers from Sigonella may also involved.
